“When they need a goal and they take Mohamed Salah off you know Luke Shaw has played a good game,” he said.

"Very happy with [the defence] and that's always the foundation, if you keep clean sheets and keep David [de Gea] not very occupied, we know we've got something going and teams have to be built from that foundation.

"Victor [Lindelof] and Chris [Smalling] fantastic, Luke Shaw, that was his best performance under me.

"It's one of them things, you want him to go forward a bit more but Salah and [Sadio] Mane aren't bad, either, so we had to take that bit of caution.

"Even though you're never happy not winning a game this was a good performance."
